Maintenance Manager

Maintenance Manager – Advanced Technology Facility

Columbia City, Indiana | $80,000–$112,000 Based On Experience | Full-Time

This isn't your typical manufacturing maintenance department.

Our client operates an advanced electron beam technology facility in Columbia City, where sophisticated equipment and technology come together in a highly controlled, clean environment.

We're looking for a Maintenance Manager who can lead a small, highly technical maintenance team while still being comfortable understanding the equipment and troubleshooting complex problems.

You'll lead a team of approximately four direct reports
, report directly to the General Manager
, and work closely with Corporate Engineering through a dotted-line relationship.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of maintenance but is ready to take ownership of the people, processes, documentation, reliability, and projects that keep an advanced facility operating.

• Lead the facility's maintenance function and a team of approximately four maintenance professionals
• Oversee general and preventive maintenance for machinery, equipment, buildings, and facility systems
• Ensure preventive maintenance is completed on schedule and properly documented
• Maintain the facility's computerized maintenance management/EAM system and ensure work orders and maintenance records remain current
• Troubleshoot equipment issues with facility personnel before escalating problems to Corporate Engineering
• Serve as the maintenance liaison between the General Manager and Corporate Engineering
• Coordinate facility improvement and engineering projects from planning through completion
• Manage contractors and outside service providers performing work at the facility
• Ensure contractors meet required safety and environmental standards
• Maintain appropriate spare parts, tools, and maintenance inventory
• Oversee preventive maintenance on forklifts and other specialized equipment
• Monitor maintenance work orders and ensure completed work is properly documented

• Assist the General Manager and Corporate Engineering with special projects
• Evaluate the overall effectiveness of the facility's maintenance program
• Provide guidance and recommendations regarding the performance of maintenance personnel
• Maintain 24-hour on-call availability to assist with critical troubleshooting

This is where the role becomes particularly interesting for the right maintenance professional.

The facility utilizes advanced electron beam technology
, creating a maintenance environment that involves sophisticated equipment and systems rather than a traditional production floor.

We're particularly interested in people who have worked around complex electrical or electronic systems such as:

• High-voltage equipment
• RF or radio-frequency systems
• Radio and communications equipment
• Radar or other military electronics
• Nuclear or nuclear-support systems
• Industrial controls and instrumentation
• Medical or other highly technical equipment
• Defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical technology

You don't necessarily need experience with electron beam equipment.

We're interested in the technical foundation you bring
.

Someone who has spent years troubleshooting sophisticated military electronics, high-voltage systems, RF equipment, nuclear systems, or other complex technology may have a very strong foundation for learning this environment.

This is a small, highly focused maintenance organization
.

You'll have approximately four direct reports
, allowing you to stay close to the people and the equipment rather than spending your day managing layers of supervisors.
